Syed Iftikhar Hussain Shah, NWFP governor, on Monday urged tribal elders from South Waziristan tribal zone to unite and fight against foreign militants. Mr Shah said this while addressing a 50-member jirga of the Sulemankhel tribe at Governor's House. The governor also announced a special Rs 100 million development package for the area and said the package would be part of next year's annual development programme. "Development priorities will be determined by the tribe itself," he said and urged the elders to constitute a committee for this purpose. Malik Baz Muhammad Khan, an elder, told Mr Shah that the Sulemankhel tribe had "confidence in the leadership" of President General Pervez Musharraf and assured the governor that his tribe would support the ongoing military operation against militants. The NWFP governor agreed to the demand of the jirga to give representation to the Sulemankhels in the agency council on the basis of current population and approved one additional seat for the tribe.
